SOLD! - 1962 Gibson ES-335 TD Cherry w/ PAF’s 100%

This SINGLE OWNER original stoptail 3.67Kg 1962 ES-335 is in near mint collector grade condition and 100% original from the unopened Patent Applied For sticker PAF humbuckers to every single part on this guitar including the case.

The finish is a vibrant cherry red that has not yet faded with only a few marks on the top and sides and some wear on the neck. The back of the body is completely free of any (buckle-)wear and the guitar glows perfectly under UV blacklight. There are no cracks, breaks or repairs and all solder is untouched! It has the factory lightweight short seam tailpiece, foundry mark no-wire ABR-1 bridge, single line double ring Kluson tuners, black reflector knobs, switch, pickguard, pickup rings, trussrod cover, jack plate, pots, wiring, etc. It's all there and in a condition we haven't seen before. It even has the small original Gibson frets that are low but still playable.

What an amazing guitar, purchased from the original owner in the USA who had this guitar all his life and only played it at home.

The guitar is freshly setup and the action is just perfect. It plays super easy up and down the neck (42,3mm wide at the nut) and the sound is very powerful and rich with beautiful open woody overtones. It will be very hard to put this one down!!
